Health and wellbeing is important at any age, so when we are asked to sponsor this wonderful girls football team we jumped at the chance.

Congratulations to the under 11 Lionesses at Gorleston Rangers Football Club for such a great season, winning the league and the Norfolk Women and Girls Football League shield.

We are really proud of you and your success!

We were joined by a great group of EEEGR (East of England Energy Group) members this morning at Orbis Energy for our first networking breakfast session.

With the sun shining through the fourth floor window it only seemed apt that the subject matter was health and wellbeing for individuals, and in the workplace.

Our Amy Kingston kicked off the session with the background to Tide Medical's occupational health and emergency medicine throughout the offshore community and our focus on wellbeing medicals and workplace health.

Thanks to Catherine Jeans who talked us through the three key strategies to healthy eating before sharing the shocking statistic that ultra processed food is linked to 32 harmful affects to health.

We were also joined by Jackie Heffer-Cooke who discussed the reasons for workplace absence, mental health challenges (the messiness of being human) and the science behind stress and anxiety and how our brain processes it.

The overall takeaway?

We need to get clever and use our parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), which helps all our physiological systems to work well. Regular exercise, deep breathing, mindfulness and relaxation activates the PNS, giving us reduced tension, better sleep and a sense of control during the most chaotic moments.

Thanks to everyone who joined us!

When we first opened the doors to Tide Medical last summer, our primary aim was to provide a personalised service, so we were really proud to be presented with the Positive Impact in the Norfolk Community award at December’s EEEGR (East of England Energy Group) End of Year celebrations.

Being based in Gorleston it was important for us to learn, connect and grow with our community, so it’s a privilege to sponsor Gorleston Rangers Football Club U11 girls team.

As a mother of two girls, our director Amy Kingston was keen to support the Lionesses by providing winter coats, jumpers and a new home kit to the team.

And after a challenging game at the weekend and a penalty shootout, the team are not only top of the table, they are also in the final of the Under 11 cup game.

We’ll be cheering the Lionesses on during the game on May 17th!

Running vs. Walking: Which is Better?

🏃‍♀️ The answer might surprise you 🚶‍♂️

As you can see Amy Kingston has been 'Running with Ralph' and this week he's been partial to a bit of both!

Both running and walking have incredible health benefits - it just depends on your goals.

🏃‍♂️ Running burns more calories in less time and boosts cardiovascular fitness faster.

◾ You can burn more calories running than walking per minute, which can add up to a significant difference over time.
◾ Research shows that those who run tend to have increased bone density.

🚶‍♀️ However, walking is lower impact and great for beginners or recovery days.
◾ It’s a functional exercise for many of us as we go about our daily schedules.
◾ It's low impact, easy on our joints and all we need is a good pair of walking shoes.

✅ The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend both as part of a healthy lifestyle.

So which is the best form of exercise? The answer is that its the one you’ll actually do!

Whether it’s walking or running, start with 10 to 15 minutes. And then, on a weekly basis, add five minutes.

Ever felt your mind clear after a run?

It's not just in your head - movement is medicine.

When she's not at or working weekends in a hospital you might catch our director Amy Kingston running 🏃‍♀️ with her dog Ralph along .

It's a well known fact that regular aerobic exercise reduces stress, improves mood, and helps manage anxiety and depression.

✅ The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends physical activity as part of mental health management, with benefit seen from just 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, five times a week.

For Amy, it's getting out with her five-year-old German short haired pointer and pounding the pavements - with him leading the way!

Tide Wellbeing, soon to be launched, will deliver workshops and training sessions looking at how to support individuals' productivity and health, manage stress and promote resilience to ensure wellness in the workplace.

Topics from diet, sleep hygiene and cancer prevention will be covered, through to functional health, wellbeing and medical assessments.

Whether it’s a jog in the park or a quick lunchtime run, moving more can make a big difference, helping your mental wellbeing.

When our director Amy Kingston isn’t at the helm of Tide Medical she is often spotted during the weekend in the A&E department of the James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Gorleston where she still works shifts as a senior doctor.

This week has been all about new starters.

Welcome to our new Occupational Health technician and administrator Kristie Ball, who has joined us to support our increase in clients within the clinic and more specifically to help manage our offsite health surveillance projects.

Kristie has worked with most of the team before in a previous role and has a great knowledge of the industry and a real commitment to team work.

We also had a new director sitting in Amy Kingston's chair - and he's only 2!

Tiaki, the son of our Occupational Health Technician Britta Spriklejohn popped in with his mum wearing his Tide Medical hoodie and made himself firmly at home in the hot-seat.

He might not be quite old enough to be booking appointments, but we think you'll agree he looks very professional!
